Protester’s Car Sinks During Anti‑ICE Confrontation

A viral video shows an unidentified anti‑ICE protester in Upton, Massachusetts step out of her car to confront agents, forget to set the parking brake, and watch the vehicle roll into and sink in a nearby lake. The clip drew widespread online attention and comments calling it “instant karma.” The incident was reported amid a reported ramp-up of ICE operations in sanctuary cities, including detentions in public places in Boston and the nearby city of Everett canceling its Hispanic Heritage Month festival. The U.S. Department of Justice has filed suit against Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and the city over sanctuary policies. The reporting package also noted unrelated local items, including a Día de los Muertos celebration planned at Yuma’s Colorado River State Historic Park and brief notices from AP and El Vocero that did not add event-specific details.
